How I Got My Groove Back….. How I Got My Groove Back…..

These are my kids – Meet Pixie: and Boy Wonder: I love my kids – they are amazing and fun and full of life. They are also, to put it bluntly, exhausting. They don’t mean to be, I’m certain. Kids have similar life-draining traits that they universally share and mine are no exception. I always love them, but sometimes it gets... [Read more]

April Rose Thoughts…. April Rose Thoughts….

I thought about saying nothing concerning this topic because I don’t want to contribute to the noise swirling around. I guess in some ways it’s really none of my business, but I do have a few thoughts that I want to share about this “scandal”. For those of you who are reading and saying “what the heck is she talking about”... [Read more]

Uninvited guest…. Uninvited guest….

Tuesday night I had to work late and the hubs had worship team rehearsal at church so I did not get home with the kids until almost 9pm. When time is at a premium, I will often rehearse with them in the car on the way home what the “routine” will be when we walk in the door. So I gave them the rundown and it went something like this. Walk... [Read more]

What’s going on? What’s going on?

Hey friends, it’s been a few days hasn’t it? I’ve tried to post a few times in the last week but I’ve just not really had much to say – and I almost always have something to say! Here’s the dealio…I’ve been struggling this last week. I’m not depressed and I’m not feeling hopeless, but I’m... [Read more]

Long Weekends… Long Weekends…

It’s Tuesday morning but it feels like Monday. I’m feeling the melancholy feeling you get after a nice long weekend and you are faced with heading back to the daily grind of work, traffic, homework, laundry etc. We had a fantastic Memorial day weekend…spent lots of time together, went out to eat, slept in, visited the local flea market, saw... [Read more]

Are we seriously THAT lazy? Are we seriously THAT lazy?

I’m aware that America, as a culture has something of a reputation of being “lazy” and taking the easy way out.  I know, I know……Not every  reputation is valid or justly earned. True enough. BUT, the observation I’m about to make isn’t really helping our case much. Have you ever seen one of these?     Yep... [Read more]

My Witness? Or, How To Feel Better About My Apathy? My Witness? Or, How To Feel Better About My Apathy?

I’ve been thinking about this post from Shaun Groves all week. I’ve left a link to it in my inbox, I’ve prayed about it, I’ve laid awake at night thinking about it. The challenge was simple….Think about the needs around you, Think big about how YOU could meet those needs – what is your “witness” going... [Read more]

Why I Cry at Weddings… Why I Cry at Weddings…

On Saturday we went to the wedding of a friend that I work with. It was a beautiful day for a wedding and it was a beautiful wedding. I love weddings…and I always seem to cry when I attend them, but for some reason my thoughts and emotions were on overdrive this time. The ceremony was held in a small catholic cathedral in downtown Raleigh that... [Read more]

Sunday dinner creations… Sunday dinner creations…

We had a lazy day today which has been a rare treat on the weekends around here. In fact, we have been busy every single Saturday and Sunday since Easter – suffice it to say we were ready for some downtime! Often when I’m not busy I get the urge to cook, which is just fine with my husband. I’ll spend the day cooking and freeze a bunch... [Read more]

Mother’s day was nice but Monday stunk… Mother’s day was nice but Monday stunk…

Have you ever noticed that the really good days always seem to be followed by crummy days? It’s probably not a scientific theory that would hold up under close scrutiny but I’m sticking by my observation! I woke up on Mother’s day to a candle lit breakfast made by my Boy Wonder – blueberry waffles (frozen, but good) and sweet... [Read more]
